BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

In honor of Purplebeard’s contribution, I shall take the Stone Hammer to the duel.

I shall fight bare handed.

What? I thought you said you wanted items.

I changed my mind. :D It’s not like items matter, I’m winning anyways.

Results:
Yoda / arthexis (result)
Punch / Counter (arthexis punched)
Kick   / Punch   (arthexis overpowered)
Punch=6/ Punch=6 (tie)
Punch / Grab   (arthexis intercepted)

Both combatants should now send in their second set of moves.

I’ve send mine. BTW, I’d like to point that if Yoda wins, he still doesn’t win this dynasty, as beating me would only make him go to 96 Honor.

I would get 85 honor for beating you (67/2, rounded down plus 1 = 34 * 2.5 for glorious death duel = 85).  Adding 85 to my honor would put me at 130.

“1.5 times the amount of honor he would normally receive, rounded up, in addition to any other… honor gains”, in other words, 2.5 * initial honor gain

Mmm, looks like my math was off then… Better do something to fix that…

Oh. And I never liked cheese to begin with :)

Round 2 results:
Yoda / arthexis (results)
Use Hammer / Grab (Yoda disarmed)
Kick=1   / Kick=4 (Yoda kicked)
Punch     / Dodge (tie)
Grab     / Punch (Yoda intercepted)

Still inconclusive, need more moves.

I don’t understand you, arthexis…

What is there to understand? I am simply getting into the mood for my next dynasty :D

I think he means he doesn’t understand you well enough to figure out your next set of moves.

Round 3 results are in.
Yoda / arthexis (result)
Punch / Grab (arthexis intercepted)
Punch / Dodge (tie)
Punch / Kick (Yoda overpowered)
Punch / Kick (Yoda overpowered)

Need more moves.  You are each two hits away from death.

No, I was talking about his attempts at trying to make this duel not be a victory duel.

Oh, I’ve liked this dynasty so far. It has cool rules, and lots of them where underused.

If it weren’t for the fact that nobody else seems to be playing it, I’d like to continue it.

Then again, my moves have always followed a pettern. It shouldn’t be hard to figure it out…

Round 4 results.
Yoda / arthexis (result)
Grab / Dodge (tie)
Grab / Kick (arthexis thrown)
Grab / Dodge (tie)
Grab / Punch (Yoda intercepted)

Looks like we’ve gone to sudden death.  I need one more set of moves.

I’ll hold my moves until the no fleeing rule gets approved.

arthexis, the only way to flee is to fail to submit moves in the allotted time.  I already have Yoda’s moves.  You have no reason to put off submitting your moves unless you intend to flee yourself.

I should inform Yoda that I lost 5 consecutive duels employing the strategy of using the same move 4 times.
I’d also advise arthexis that dodging or countering would be phenomenally stupid at this point.

Ok, the no fleeing rule is in.  You can send your moves in now, unless you WANT me to win, of course…

Well, now the only thing I need to do is to Dodge through a whole round of moves and win!

How is it that dodging every move will cause you to win?

If I counter even one of those dodges, you take damage and lose.

“a entry or comment”

But! If you counter and I didn’t dodge, you would die instead… So maybe I am just messing with your mind.

I’ve already sent my moves in, so how could you be messing with me?  Maybe it is I that is messing with you…

And also if you have not already, you have 3 hours to send in your moves or else I win by default.

Bucky, please be sure to check the time stamp on the pm if you have one because the 24 hours has been exceeded.

Only Bucky can tell if the PM was on time or late, since that is the only way to make you qualified for winning. Better, Bucky could choose to simply not resolve this round, and neither you and I would be able to win at all, being stuck in Duel Limbo.

So basically, this is Bucky just hand picking his successor.

Arthexis’ PM arrived 24 hours and 26 minutes after Yoda’s, which was on-time.  I therefore rule that he has fled.  Yoda wins the dynasty.

For what its worth, the final set of moves were:
Yoda / arthexis
Punch /Dodge
Grab /Dodge
Punch /Dodge
Grab /Punch

and I would have preferred a win by arthexis.

Thanks for your comment Bucky, I had originally intended to send this list of moves on time, but I had to travel to another city in the meanwhile, but oh well, its too late now. Anyways, well played Yoda :)
